If I could fill a pool with anything in the world, it would probably be coffee or some type of melted cheese. However, if both of those options were unavailable, then I think my third choice would have to be peanut sauce. I would float on rafts made out of spring rolls, and the pool noodles would be actual noodles. It would be kind of gross, but in the best kind of way. Thai food is one of my all-time favorites, and I think the peanut sauce might be like, 80% of that reason. One of my favorite Thai restaurants in town serves it with pretty much everything on their menu from chicken satay to salads, and I am here for it. My favorite thing to eat it with is the curry puffs, which is essentially a Thai samosa. I could honestly eat three or four plates to myself. They serve all their dishes with some marinated cucumbers, and the combo of sweet, salty, tangy, and crunchy haunts my dreams. Continue reading “Coconut Curry Chicken Satay with Peanut Sauce”→

What do you do when you don’t have any bamboo skewers in your BBQ drawer in your kitchen?

You just make chicken satay without the skewers is what you do.

The moral of this story is that nobody is perfect but you should do what you do anyways.

Like yesterday. I went to the grocery store and got my groceries for the week. I then proceeded to pay at the checkout line, smile at the bag boy, get in my car and drive home. I walked through the door with my bags of groceries, put them away nicely in the fridge and pantry, and went to my bathroom to get a hair tie. It was at that moment that I looked in the mirror and noticed that my (very cute) button down flannel was unbuttoned all the way to the bottom of my bra. My boobs were hanging out. You could see my whole bra.

How long did I walk around like this? Good question. I have NO idea. None. At all.

I like to think that maybe some nice lady at the grocery store would have told me about my fashion faux pas had the whole dilemma happened in the store (as opposed to the car or at home).

I also like to think that if somebody was not that nice, at least I made a few peoples’ days hopefully.

The mystery remains unsolved, but at least I always have chicken satay to make me feel better from embarrassing moments.

Because if coconut peanut sauce doesn’t make you feel better after a rough day, something might be wrong with you.

Or maybe not, but I do question your morality.

Chicken (Serves 2):

1 chicken breast

1/2 c. low fat coconut milk

1/2 tsp. yellow curry powder

Salt and pepper, to taste

1 tsp. soy sauce

1/4 tsp. siracha

1 garlic clove, minced

1/4 tsp. ginger, grated

2 tsp. brown sugar

Sauce:

1/3 c. low fat coconut milk

3 Tbs. natural peanut butter*

1/2 tsp. soy sauce

Salt and pepper, to taste

1/2 Tbs. brown sugar

1/2 tsp. yellow curry powder

*Use natural peanut butter, like the stir kind with the natural oils. The kind made without any sugar. If you look in the ingredients, it will only list peanuts. I promise, it tastes so much better (and it’s better for you!)
